CMS will provide facility upgrades that it says will lower the university's energy cost by about $2.9 million. The contract calls for CMS to not only retrofit lighting throughout the campus, but also to implement campus-wide water conservation measures by modifying existing water use fixtures and meters along with various other energy efficiency upgrades.

CMS will install a control system that will monitor energy usage in 15 buildings and provide remote control capabilities for the heating and air-conditioning equipment in those buildings. The company says this will improve the comfort for the students and provides troubleshooting capabilities for the university staff and provide temperature and occupancy control.
